Mark Cueto has scored one try for Sale so far this season

Sale wing Mark Cueto has targeted the 2009 Six Nations tournament for a return to the England team.

The 27-year-old has made eight appearances for the Sharks this season after missing much of the previous campaign through injury.

Cueto told BBC Radio Manchester: "If I can stay fit and play some decent games up until Christmas, maybe I'll be in with a shout for the Six Nations.

"For me, last season was just riddled with injuries."

Cueto added: "I think already this season I've probably played more rugby than I did in the whole of last year.

"I can totally understand why I wasn't involved in the squads (for the Autumn internationals) but I'm feeling great at the minute. I'm getting to where I've been in the past in terms of fitness and everything."
